Alcohol addiction is a serious problem of our time.Both men and women often drink alcohol at parties and corporate events.Over time, drinking alcohol can become a habit.This leads to serious physical and psychological consequences.
If a person decides to stop drinking alcohol forever, he realizes how destructive it is in life - that's already half the success.It is possible to get rid of addiction;the main thing is to set a clear goal and move towards it.
- Total abstinence is the first and foremost condition.The decision to stop drinking should be final.This applies not only to strong alcoholic beverages, but also to wine, light liqueurs and beer.
- You need to understand when you've lost control of yourself and infrequent drinking has turned into a permanent habit.Once you determine what the cause is, you need to get rid of it.
- Disturbances must be avoided.Willpower, relatives, friends and colleagues will help you in this.If necessary, you can use the help of psychologists, methods of traditional medicine and the help of doctors from rehabilitation centers.
- You should learn more about the dangers of addiction and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.
- An important factor is the formation of the right habits (playing sports, proper nutrition, hobby, daily routine).
Withdrawal symptoms
The harm from alcohol is much greater than many people think.Hangovers and headaches in the morning are just minor inconveniences.If you decide to get rid of alcohol addiction yourself, you should be prepared for "withdrawal symptoms" that will make you drink again:
- feeling of constant anxiety, irritability;
- anxiety;
- tension;
- depressed state;
- resentment;
- a stream of negative thoughts.
Symptoms appear 5-7 days after withdrawal from alcohol.In order not to fall into the trap of addiction and start drinking again, you should:
- understand the falsity of experienced feelings;
- realize that these feelings will soon pass;
- do not associate the condition with external causes;
- remember why you stopped drinking.
As soon as you see that playing sports has allowed you to become more attractive, your hobby has begun to bring pleasure (and maybe money), understanding and harmony have reigned in the family, you will not want to destroy this idyll.
